GH Recap: Sleep Tight.

Ava and Morgan wake up in a hotel bed. She’s happy, but he wants more than a few hours in a hotel room. Ava’s sure once Sonny verifies the info she gave him about Julian they can be together.

At home, Patrick demands the truth and Robin finally admits that Jason is alive. She explains how Victor showed up as the new WSB head and told her Jason was pulled from the water. Patrick realizes she was going to abandon him and Emma without telling them the truth. "I can’t believe you are doing this to us again!" he rages. She asks him to try to understand and he does – Jason is the most important person to Robin. Two years ago she was willing to die and leave him alone with Emma, for Jason. Patrick begged her not to go into that lab but she did anyway. Robin tells him this isn’t about abandoning him, it’s about saving someone who has never let her down. "And I have?" he asks. She promises Patrick she loves him and he asks her to prove it by staying.

At Sonny’s Metro Court office, he and Shawn go over the information Ava brought them. They see that Julian has been tracking Corinthos business for months. An article about Jason’s death catches Sonny’s eye and he realizes Julian has been keeping tabs on his people for a long time. He then sees something that makes him and Shawn take pause. Sonny wants Ava back right now.

At Ava’s, Julian wonders if he can accept Lucas' sexualtiy. Ava returns and he demands to know what she did with his laptop. Ava accuses Alexis of trying to sow seeds of discontent between them. Julian thinks it’s more likely that Ava is trying to double cross him. Sister or not, if she pushes him up against a wall he'll take her out just like he did her sister. Ava warns Julian that she will do what she has to do to survive. She gets a text from Sonny and leaves.

At the hospital, Lucas labors over a Valentine’s Day text for Brad, editing it over and over before hitting send. Morgan joins him and they talk about Carly and Franco’s recovery – and relationship. Morgan doesn’t think it’s any weirder than him being with Ava. Their talk turns to Julian and Lucas tells Morgan he didn’t take the fact he was gay very well. But Lucas is thinking about giving Julian a chance. Morgan wants Lucas to know who he’s dealing with and tells him about Julian’s threats to his loved ones. They talk about their love lives and Lucas admits there’s a guy he likes.

At home, Felix asks Brad how bad things are with Britt’s baby lies. Brad slams a drink, then asks for a refill. Felix sees the text come through from Lucas and asks who he is. Brad tells him Lucas is a non-gay friend, but then Felix sees the half-naked picture of Lucas in Brad’s bed from earlier in the week. Brad admits they met at the Rib and one thing led to another, but Brad never thought he would see Lucas again. Felix wants to know if it was just once, but Brad tells him it was more than that. Felix asks Brad to leave.

Nikolas bursts into Dante and Lulu’s place with Britt and demands they hear her side about Dante being Ben’s father. A shocked Dante asks them to repeat the news and Britt offers to explain. Liz interjects that Britt stole Dante’s sperm from the lab. Britt admits she did it, but she was in a really bad place after Patrick dumped her. She tells them her mother came up with the plan to get pregnant, and Britt went along with it. Britt tells them she just found out Dante was the father today, which Liz scoffs at. They make arrangements for Dante to see the baby in the morning and leave. Liz explains she said nothing because Lulu had just told her how upsetting it would be for Dante to have a baby with someone else. She leaves Dante and Lulu with the results. Outside, Nikolas gets on one knee and asks Britt to marry him as Liz sadly watches. Inside, Lulu assures Dante this is amazing news. His son is going to be a part of both of their lives.

Ava returns to Sonny’s office and he asks her who she answers to. "No one," she says to him and Shawn. Sonny tells her that Julian's records show his media empire has a money man. Someone else has been bankrolling their organization for years.

Back at Ava’s Julian gets a call. "Speak of the devil," he says.

Tomorrow’s Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:

Sonny learns that Ben is Dante’s son.

Lulu tells Tracy about the big baby news.

Liz admits to Robin that she is still in love with Nikolas.

Patrick tells Sabrina Robin won’t be here for the Nurses' Ball.

Franco tells Kevin the last time he saw Scotty he was on his way to Miscavige.

Thought I posted this earlier today.

Re: all of the Robin hoopla, my perspective is as one who was on a GH hiatus during her courtship, marriage and parenthood with Drake Jr. (ok, it WAS a long break!). So coming in cold and seeing them together post-abduction/faux death it strikes me that they have ZERO chemistry. Perhaps this is due to KM's limited emotional range.

In the two years since Robin's “death,” everything has come full circle – her survival, her captivity, her return, and now we're back to her departure. The similarities between the earlier storyline and the current one, both having Robin willingly sacrificing her life with Patrick and Emma in an attempt to save Jason, leads me to believe that what we are seeing is essentially ANOTHER do-over by the writing team.

The FIRST real do-over was when they said that Robin had improbably survived the lab explosion after all, and that it wasn't an accident, as it was originally written, but part of some mysterious plot. When almost everybody swallowed that gigantic whopper, I guess TPTB figured they could play fast and loose with just about anything, so after the Prospect Park debacle, they went on a revisionist history binge, starting with the return of the OLTL3, and then later when they changed Frodd's backstory for the third time.

It seems to me that this current storyline is how, in retrospect, TPTB wished they had written Robin's original exit, instead of killing her off so definitively, which forced them to come up with all those ludicrous plots to explain her long absence. Now, they've set it up where Robin's loyalties are again torn between her family and Jason, but now, choosing Jason will break up her marriage to Patrick, which will in turn, free Drake Jr. to pursue another romance, only this time around, without the audience knowing full well that he would drop anyone he's involved with to go back to Robin if she ever returned. That will no longer be the case, whether he gets back with Sabrina (the most likely scenario), or Liz, or Sam, or someone completely new.

To me, this storyline is the writers' way of admitting that it was a HUGE mistake to have killed off the character of Robin when they did, and in the way that they did, leaving Patrick's character in relationship limbo. Since they had to come up with yet another exit strategy for Robin anyway, it looks like they decided to hit the reset button to rectify their original mistake, and do it the way they should've done it the first time around.

Once she's finally gone, it will be like waking up from a two-year coma. I'll bet it won't take very long before things are back to the way they were before Robin's return. It will almost be as if she walked out on her family two years ago, and never came back. Then everyone can finally move on and never have to give her a second thought. Robin can simply fade from our memories, joining other obsolete characters like Bigfoot, Trey LeDouche, McBat, Starr, Todd, Casey the Alien, and Richard Simmons.

That will be a time to celebrate!

This is JMO of character traits of the different characters on GH. No one has agree with me but it is how I see them .

Dante is loyal to a fault and doesn't break his loyalty easily.

Lulu is loyal to her self and her father and maybe her brother Lucky but that's about it.

Nick is always blinded by love and I'm not so sure that's a bad trait to have.

Britt will lie until the wheel falls off but I still like her for some reason.

Carly will always look for love and never quite get it in her grasp and when they really love her, like Jax, she will throw it away.

AJ is such a flawed a character and never believes in himself enough to stick it out when the going gets hard but I still love him for some reason and want him to see him succeed.

Robin character is loyal to a fault no matter how it hurts her family... In bygone days loyal to Stone and Sonny when Mac would rather put his eye out with a fork than have her loyal to these two men. Later on recently she was loyal to Jason putting her life on the line to get his cure And now loyal to him and his baby Danny. I heard what she said today "How could she live with herself knowing Danny's father was alive and not helping him to get back to his family." Robin knows Jason would do this for her no matter how it might hurt his own family and for that I can't fault her even though I'm not happy with this s/l. Robin and Jason are very much alike in this regard.

Patrick will either accept this or he won't. I do feel for Patrick as Jason T. Is such a great actor as Patrick, probably the best actor on GH, but his character has flaws as well like the affair with Lisa and not believing Robin before it was to late and not being able to make up his mind when Robin came back. At this point I don't care if they break up Robin and Patrick but I won't be watching any scenes with Sabrina and Patrick no passion there and anyway I don't like Sabrina.

Lovelymarlena--Excellent post!!! I agree with your assessments. So true for all characters. I too don't have any animosity nor love for Robin. She is who she is. Patrick, to me, needs to grow up. He's a little too needy for my taste.

OT:

Are y'all still getting the rain?

Lovelymarlena – Great post! Two quick points.

I agree that Jason would've sacrificed anything to save Robin, but we both know that he would also be the first one to tell Robin not to do this, especially if it's going to cause problems between her and her family.

Secondly, Patrick’s one night stand with Lisa could hardly be considered an affair. She got him drunk, and seduced him, ONCE, but after that moment of weakness, he rejected Lisa's advances, despite her incredible HAWTness. With the exception of that ONE night of their marriage, (for which Patrick has been paying the price for ever since), he's been an exemplary husband and father, and in my opinion, a much better husband to Robin than she's been a wife to him, Lisa or NO Lisa.

Right now, for all the good his loyalty to Robin had done for him, it seems to me that he would've been better off if he HAD dumped her for Lisa while she was in Africa the FIRST time she bailed on their marriage. Then Lisa wouldn't have gone on a rampage, and later gotten herself zombied out, and then killed on the Love Boat, and they probably would've never had to bring in Sabrina, and her Fairy Godmother, Felix.

I'd trade Felix, Sabrina, and Robin for Lisa any day of the week!

Scrimmage thanks for your comments on my post only one thing we disagree on is having Patrick stay with Lisa. Not a fan of hers but if we could have a lady villain back, wait for your hair to be set on fire Scrimmage, bring back Claudia. Now there's a villain I can get behind. Right Poodles? We were always the ones to cheer on bringing her back.

As for the title of today's re-cap "Sleep Tight", judging by the way Julian & Ava toss back the toddies- I would guess they both sleep "tight" at night.
